Auditor A&C has refused to issue an opinion on the 2026 half-year financial statements of HVA Group, the strategic partner of crypto exchange ONUS, and flagged a material uncertainty that could cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. One cause is the criminal case linked to ONUS, opened on 24/3, after investigators seized HVA's accounting records, leaving the auditor without enough documents to verify transactions and balances. As of end-June, HVA held 125.14 billion VND in investments due to mature, mainly in HanaGold, Onuschain and BTC Blockchain Technology Company, all part of the ecosystem of founder Vương Lê Vĩnh Nhân (Eric Vương). Investments and receivables totalling over 147 billion VND, or 82.5% of total assets, lack sufficient basis to determine recoverability; if they cannot be recovered, total assets could fall about 83% and equity about 98%. In the first half, HVA posted an after-tax loss of nearly 3.6 billion VND, compared with a profit of 3.3 billion VND a year earlier, and its shares trade at 4,000 VND, down about 84% from 24,800 VND in October 2025, and can only be traded on Fridays.

- Ledger Says All Confirmed Cases in Suspected $87M Drain Tied to Reseller CryptoBilis
Ledger said every confirmed case in last week's wallet-draining incident involves devices sold through Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis, while its own systems and direct sales channels remain unaffected. The company described the number of affected devices as “limited,” said it is working with authorities, and noted that CryptoBilis has ceased all hardware wallet sales. Onchain investigator Specter traced more than $86 million in suspected thefts across Ethereum, Tron and Bitcoin, and YFarmX sent Ledger a list of more than 450 drained wallets, though Ledger has not confirmed these figures or the cause. Separately, a user on X claimed to have found tampered Ledger devices in Europe and called for a recall, a claim that has not been independently verified. Ledger has told authorized resellers never to restock returned products and advised CryptoBilis buyers to move their funds to a new seed phrase on a device bought from Ledger.

- Lisa Cook lawyer doubts Trump committee's fairness as president calls her 'automatic no vote'
Lisa Cook's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, argues that the committee Trump set up to investigate mortgage fraud allegations against the Fed governor cannot be fair, citing 'demonstrably biased members' and unspecified additional allegations. In a letter to adviser Will Scharf, Lowell said Cook cannot attend the November 5 in-person hearing because she will be on Fed duties in Europe, so the earliest possible hearing would be in December. Trump earlier called Cook 'dishonest' and an 'automatic no vote' for opposing rate cuts, and the White House said he is performing his constitutional duty. Lowell also said top economic adviser Kevin Hassett has prejudged the case by suggesting Trump has 'cause' to fire her. The Supreme Court blocked Trump's first attempt to remove Cook in late June for insufficient due process, and Cook denies the allegations.
- Bangkok Post - US Fed chief surprised by world economy resilience
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said the global economy has shown unexpected resilience despite strong shocks, even as central banks fight surging inflation and rich countries face spiking bond yields. Speaking in Bangkok, he pointed to soaring energy prices since the war on Iran began in February, plus an AI investment surge, as drivers of inflation in many economies, including the US. The Fed has missed its 2% target for more than five years and raised rates in September for the first time in three years; markets expect a hold in October and a possible 25-basis-point hike in December. Warsh gave no hint on October's decision, saying the world has broadly matched the Fed's expectations. He called AI the most consequential change to the global economy he has seen, with a positive but “bumpy” path ahead.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.
- Asian shares mostly decline after AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street
Asian shares mostly fell in cautious trading on Tuesday after AI-related stocks rebounded on Wall Street, while other sectors stayed shaky and oil prices stayed high. Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 0.6% to 64,512.35 in early trading, South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.8%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.8%.

The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase.

The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
